Healthy Fluffy Whole Wheat Waffles Vegan Option Food

WHOLE-WHEAT VEGAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F if using to keep cooked waffles warm.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the soy milk, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it is OK if there are some lumps).
• Generously spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron with cooking spray. Fill each compartment almost completely, and spread the batter to the edges. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles. Serve with maple syrup, nut butter or fruit preserves.

HEALTHY, FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES (VEGAN OPTION)

Steps:

BANANA SPLIT WAFFLES (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Preheat Waffle Iron (spray with non-stick spray, if needed).
• In a food processor or blender, whip the flax seed and water together until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency, about 2 minutes. Add the margarine and milk, and whip for another minute.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients, and pour in the milk mixture. Stir until just combined. Add the chocolate syrup, stir. Fold in chocolate chips, strawberries, and banana.
• Spoon 1/2 cup batter (or the amount recommended for your waffle iron) onto the hot iron. Spread the batter to just within 1/4 inch of the edge of the grids using the back of your spoon or spatula. Close the lid and bake until the waffle is crispy. Serve immediately or keep warm in a single layer on the rack in a 200 degree F oven while you finish cooking the rest (keeping the oven door cracked will help prevent them from getting soggy). Decorate the waffle with toppings.
